Re: rough time
I have to tell you something funny @outlander about the cats.
Most nights when I take my meds I have a very small glass of milk. The cats know by the noise my medications make that I'm taking them. So they're all up in my face to get some milk. They're not happy when I don't have milk. So Jasper gets a little off my finger & Mr A sticks his paw in and licks it off.

Im starting to get a little tired (and fidgety) so may need to log off soon. You have been amazingly helpful today just by being here (let alone your posting) thank you so so much. Im still sitting with you tonight though. 💜💜

Re: rough time
Afternoon @outlander & @Appleblossom.
I'm heading out soon to my volunteer gig t the op shop. I'd rather stay at home & sleep, but I know that it may help a little to get out. My mood is dipping lower and lower. More of the same stuff. Just hate living/being like this. It's exhausting, frustrating and humiliating. I'm ashamed to be like this.

Re: rough time
Sorry @outlander. I was fixing my dinner.
This afternoon at the op shop was good. It was easier than I expected. The lady manager was very impressed with me today. She said often other volunteers were lazy and sat around not doing much. That's not my style. I didn't sit until the last couple of hours, just periodically. At that point I was very tired. But otherwise I kept working. It felt good to be productive and pick up things easily.
And I liked talking to most of the customers, who were pleasant and happy. We were quite busy at times are the shop is located outside a small suburban shopping mall.
The manager asked why I wasn't working & when I said I had depression, she said her daughter had it so bad she was barely functioning. She's also a carer for her husband who has a severe and terminal lung condition. She herself is not in great health either. I feel like I don't have it too bad when I hear stories like that.
How was your day, and how are you feeling? Have some of the urges passed?

Re: rough time
@Sans911 It is great that today went better than expected and you were appreciated and connected enough with your boss for her to get personal.
It helps to put our situation into perspective to hear other stories. Everybody does struggle somehow.
I certainly struggled with acceptance.
